About Me
I am Guangyan Cai (蔡广彦), a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine School of Information and Computer Science. My research, conducted under the guidance of Prof. Shuang Zhao, focuses on physics-based differentiable rendering and its applications, with a particular emphasis on inverse rendering.
Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained my B.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego, where I had the privilege of working with Prof. Ravi Ramamoorthi.
